Canadian Hip-Hop

So I bring to you a post with some Canadian hip-hop artists that I love. There is a vast amount of great talent coming out of the Canadian hip-hop scene and I want to share it all with you. I’m going to compile a list here and the list will be linked as I get the albums uploaded, so if the album isn’t up for download yet just give it a few days. If you have any requests for the list or have something you would like to contribute just post a comment and let me know!

This is going to take a pretty long while to upload all this shit.. So if you have any of these albums and feel like doing something nice.. upload one or two for me and you’ll be properly credited and thanked!

Order Online: 2.13.61 Store

I’ve long been a fan of Henry Rollins and his spoken word performances. I was lucky enough to catch him on his “Provoked” tour this winter and it was nothing short of amazing. If you aren’t familiar with Rollins body of work, leave a comment and I’ll upload some good stuff to get you started. I wish I had more to say about this.. But I do assure you that it is really worth a listen, as is the rest of his work.

Mic Boyd – Lost In The Woods (2008)

Artist: Mic Boyd
Album: Lost In The Woods
Year: 2008
Label: Half-Life Records
Myspace: myspace.com/micboyd
Order Online: Shop EMI
Download: Here

Classifieds little brother Mic Boyd just released his first official full length. The only precursor to this album was an EP released about four years back. If you are into Classified or any of the hip hop boys from Eastern Canada you will want to pick this up for sure. Classified, Jordan Croucher & Mike Boyd Senior all have guest spots on this gem of a record. I’ve been digging it more and more withe every listen.

I Am…

Not dead! I’ve been pretty busy lately and haven’t had much time to be posting.. I assure you I got some gems coming your way though. I’m going to do a Canadian Hip-Hop week soon and bombard you with the best stuff (in my opinion that is) coming out of our country right now. Please keep checking back, I have not left for good.

Chad Hatcher – Tunnels and Pathways (2008)

Artist: Chad Hatcher
Album: Tunnels and Pathways
Year: 2008
Label: Half-Life Records
Myspace: myspace.com/chadhatcher
Order Online: Shop EMI
Download: Here

Canadas very own east coaster Chad Hatcher has teamed up with Canadian rapper/producer Classified and just dropped his first full length album Tunnels and Pathways. After listening to the advance copy with promo shout outs on each track, I immediately went to the record store and picked this up. Think if you took a guy who plays acoustic folk/blues tunes and got a hip-hop producer on board. The combination is strangely unique and original. If anyone heard Classifieds last album Hitch Hikin’ Music you will recognize Chad’s voice from the acoustic track ‘All About You’. So with all that being said, please pick this album up and support Chad because he deserves every penny.

Vacation!

Yo everybody, I am on vacation until next week. I hope this reading week treats me well. Anyways, I hope all of you have a good week and enjoy the shit that is up here. I probably won’t get around to checking for re-ups or anything until next week so just letting you know in advance.

On a side note, I re-upped all the of Atmospheres Sad Clown series that had broken links so go snag those if you couldn’t for whatever reason before!

Aesop Rock – All Day: Nike + Original Run (2007)

 

Artist: Aesop Rock
Album: All Day: Nike + Original Run
Year: 2007
Label: Nike
Other: iTunes only release.
Download: Here

If you’re getting sick of taking your daily jog to the Crystal Method, it’s time to move on to the new Nike mix from Aesop Rock. ($10) is a kick-ass 45-minute continuous mix created by the MC/Producer for runners wanting a little audible boost during their routine. “I wanted to create something that evolved enough that the sound was constantly fresh and attractive,” he said, “as if the runner were moving through a set of differing cities or landscapes.”

A Kansan Tribute To Mac Lethal

I love this dudes material. He is so honest and I can relate heavily to a lot of it. Some of it is pretty damn funny, but still gets you thinking. If you haven’t heard Mac Lethal check out his Myspace page and give him a listen. Straight outta Kansas City, ready to be in your face and own the fucking world.
